Well, I recommend starting with C first and a good book is..

C for Scientists and Engineers

Authored by Richard Johnsonbaugh and Martin Kalin

Don't let the name intimidate you. It is one of the best "easy-reference," book I've seen to date, and the verbage is very understandable.

As for C++, I really can't recommend a book as I haven't run across a good "quick-reference," C++ book as the concepts that are unrelated to C are a tad more complex and not to quick-reference friendly.

I like all of the "in 24 hours" and "for dummies" books. Nice quick intro to anything including programming. After that, you can move onto the wrox series especially, beginning Visual C++ 5 and just about anything else if you like.

I perosnlay think The Beginner's guide to C++ is a great begining book. They go into depth and give great examples. It was only like 30 bucks at Barnes and Nobles.
